Abstract excerpt
Although p27 and p57 are structurally related cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs), and are thought to perform similar functions, p27 knockout (p27(KO)) and p57(KO) mice show distinct phenotypes. To elucidate the in vivo functions of these CKIs, we have now generated a knock-in mouse model (p57(p27KI)), in which the p57 gene has been replaced with the p27 gene. The p57(p27KI) mice are viable and appear...
